The price of gold is expected to stay around $2,000 per ounce at least through the autumn, reflecting a market where bullion remains a steady hedge amid ongoing economic uncertainty. Analysts across major financial desks continue to watch price signals, noting how geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic data influence investor behavior and risk appetite in both developed and emerging markets.
That stability in gold prices plays a significant role in shaping global inflation dynamics. In recent discussions, observers point out that while headline inflation may ease in some regions, core inflation remains sticky, complicating the path back to target levels and testing the resolve of central banks as they manage monetary policy and the value of savings in real terms.
Alfa Capital’s Alexander Dzhioev underlines that inflation pressures persist, particularly in core measures, even as central banks tighten policy. He notes that this persistence can support continued interest in gold as a portfolio hedge among investors seeking protection against eroding purchasing power.
Similarly, Andrey Maslov of FG Finam argues for a price range that could see bullion oscillating roughly between $1,900 and $2,100 per ounce. He suggests the financial sector’s issues in the United States and Europe have largely stabilized, which may reduce near-term volatility in gold, though macro risks remain on the horizon.
According to Dzhioev, the magnitude of any post-fall price movement will hinge on the actions of the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank as they address inflation. Their strategies and the resulting economic repercussions will be critical in determining whether gold consolidates near current levels or experiences sharper shifts driven by policy surprises, risk sentiment, and currency dynamics.
Earlier data indicated a notable shift in Russian gold holdings, with purchases rising significantly and reaching a high level that underscores a strategic move toward bullion as a stabilizing asset amid currency and geopolitical considerations. This trend reinforces gold’s appeal as a store of value for investors seeking long-term resilience in volatile markets.
